Rockets show off new helmets, more changes to come

At the Mid-American Conference Media Day on July 24, Toledo unveiled its new helmets for the upcoming season — and that’s just the beginning.

The Rockets showcased the new helmets, which remain midnight blue, but feature a larger gold rocket logo and no longer feature “Toledo” on the sides. The helmets also feature a matte-finish paint job.

The helmet is far from the only uniform change to expect, however. The Rockets are expected to receive new jerseys this season and also are looking to possibly have multiple helmets. There is still no word when the rest of their pieces of their uniform will debut.

Former UT head coach Tim Beckman was instrumental in the design of Toledo’s latest jerseys, which the team wore for the past two seasons.
